EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from Oxford University's past, as members of the Officers Training Corps (OTC) engage in drill exercises in a college quadrangle during the First World War in 1915. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the significant role that Oxford and other universities played in preparing the 'Lost Generation' for the brutal realities of the battlefield. During the early years of the war, many British universities, including Oxford, responded to the national crisis by establishing military training units on their campuses. The OTC, a voluntary organization that aimed to train students as officers, was particularly popular at Oxford, with several colleges forming their own corps. As seen in this photograph, the drill session takes place in a serene college quadrangle, surrounded by historic buildings and lush greenery. The students, dressed in their military uniforms, focus intently on their drill sergeant, who shouts out commands and directs their movements. The scene is a stark contrast to the tranquility of academic life, highlighting the sudden and profound impact of the war on the lives of these young men. The photograph also underscores the sense of duty and patriotism that permeated Oxford and other universities during this period. Many students, driven by a sense of duty to their country and a desire for adventure, left their studies to join the military. This photograph, therefore, serves as a powerful testament to the sacrifices made by the 'Lost Generation' and the unique role that Oxford University played in shaping their experiences during the First World War.
